Chapter 39 # 2-4

2. Gorvachev believed that the only way to solve problems was to talk freely about them. After he introduced his new policy of glasnost, he indicated that the Soviet union would no longer use troops and tanks to support Communist government.

3. The hard liners took control of the government because the Soviet Empire was breaking up and they didn't want that to happen.

4. No, I think that communism will always be with Russia because were the ones who started the wars, so they will always fight for communism.

Russia slowly changed after trouble with the Soviet Union. For the first time Russia's head of the state had been chosen by the people. Soon the breakup of the Soviet Union happened. The military and secret police arranged a coup or forced to take over the government. They place Gorbachev under house arrest and vowed to rebuild the Communist state. There was a growth in independence and the spirit of nationalism. For many years the Communist governments had control of prices, wages, and the production of foods. The people were also willing to endure the economic hardships.
